We live right on the coast in West Cork. This past summer, a load of these tall (1m) seemingly tender-looking shrubs popped up. We thought they would disappear over the winter, but they have withstood every salt-laden wind thrown at them and look great right now. Can anyone identify it? Should I be worried about it being an invasive species?

Spot on silver surfer! Interesting that it is a native species (relatively rare too), but it has overwhelmed some patches of land so that it needs to be treated like an invasive species. We'll keep it in check. Cheers!
